Okay so yesterday something went wrong. Was doing my best wheelie ever, Proboably about 1km wheelie. had been wheeleing in 5th gear for a good while so i was proboably at about 60 mph. Then when i landed i landed a bit to the left or something, So the bike started wobbling and i didnt have a chance to control it. I fell off the bike, wearing only a shorts and a hoodie.
As i hit the ground i tought that if i dont start rolling its just gonna be a red strip behind me. So i started rolling. And when i stopped i stood up. But quickly felt a pain in my ribs and i had a hard time breathing. So i fell down on my knees, And sat there for a while. I could barely talk to tell the cars stopping that i was okay,
The woman who pulled over to check if i was fine told me i should get someone to pick me up. And i said " If my bikes okay ill drive " So i picked the bike up and didnt see anything wrong with it other than the steer being not bent, But turned around from where it is fastened. So the brake and the clutch lever was straight down.
When i came home i hade troubble walking to the door. Still had a hard time breathing. So called the hospital, sat there for 3 hours before i was told that i punctured one of my lungs.
So here i am, At the hospital. With a tube going into my chest to suck up air thats leaking out of my lounge. I am told i have to stay a coupple of days, I think he even said i have to keep this tube in untill sunday xD
Theres no wreck to take photos of pal ;) I rode it home myself and everything seemed fine, Exept from the steer, But the steer isnt damaged either. Its just like someone took it and pulled it forward if you get what i mean xD
Jeez Nordt you Vikings really are bulletproof, glad to hear you're not too bad, make it a speedy recovery, and aye get yer biking gear on, especially if yer doing daft stunts,
Glad to hear you are alright (except for your punctured lung) ! :P You were going pretty fast xD must have looked very nice
Well be greatful that nothing else happened.. one guy I knew (not so good but used to talk with him lots on the breaks) in school passed away in just a few months ago.... He were going atleast 10mph slower than you, on his moped in the middle of the night, then a car drove out in front of him... His helmet flew of him after the first hit he took to the ground... ....I went to his funeral , and I can tell you it wasnt a happy day Got a bit off-topic but... Hey guys, just make sure you always put the helmet on properly, even if you're just going to the freakin store, things happen so easily

Mate. Hero! I mean, also bellend for doing stuff like that in shorts, but you know, that's just one of those daft things we all do on occasion, and you got unlucky.
But really, that's one hell of a pub tale.
I hope your bike is well once you get the chance to go over it properly, and of course, get yourself well.
Seanyftw, Yeah its definetly time to stop doing 60 mph wheelies XD I wont use the 5th gear while wheeleing anymore.
And i havent even seen the xrays myself. I dont know if normal people like us can even see whats wrong, The nurse told me i had a "Small collapse on the right lunge"
Can post a pic of how the bike looks when i get home, proboably on sunday ;)
**** man =[ know how it feels to flip iv not flipped at 60 mind about 25 and i fked up my gut had this nasty rank **** seeping out my belly button was told my appendix could explode lol and i was in tshirt and shorts to lol
i mean about going down because of a wheelie only time iv ever come off on the road was because of a wheelie and was rank lol propper hurt to do anything but i cant comparer to a punched lung as iv never felt it =] one thing thou as soon as i got back on the bike i had to do a little wheelie so you dont get kind scared if you know what i mean lol my dad went nuts =]
No heavy lifting. Im not gonna go wheeleing before i know for shure my lounge isnt gonna collapse again. If it does, the doctors said i could grow a problem out of it, wich means my lounge could collapse easily and randomly later xD
